During an interview with Daily DDT, Bron Breakker spoke about how he himself came up with his ring name in NXT.

“We were just sitting around one day and I’m like, ‘Well, when I used to block people in football, I used to try to break them in half. That was literally what I tried to do: snap them in half and break them. What if I’m the breaker? I break people, Breakker, and then it came to me. Bron is part of my first name and that’s what we went with.”

Bron mentioned that he wanted to try to make his own name without relying on the legacy of Rick and Scott, but is fine with certain things being mentioned here and there to remind fans of the connection.
